I agree with all three tips, especially number 3. I believe it is extremely important to be surrounded by like minded people who understand your struggle and commitment to financial freedom. A true accountability partner will say “Why are you purchasing that item?”, “Do you really need it?”, “Let’s make lunch/dinner at home, instead of buying it”.

DC @ Young Adult Money JourneytoSaving I agree DC, it’s very difficult to spend time with people who don’t share your attitudes to money, and there’s pressure on both sides.

JourneytoSaving I think people naturally end up spending more and more time with those who have the same financial values and goals. It would be difficult for someone paying down debt and trying to live frugally as possible to hang out with friends who see money as no object.

For some reason, my ex and his friends always went to the mall when they were bored. Thankfully, I kept my spending in check as I was never interested in shopping, but it can be a dangerous habit! #2 and #3 are very true as well. I don’t think I could hang out with someone who has drastically different financial values and goals.

ShannonRyan It’s true. Habits are habits no matter what they are!
